Watford, West Brom and Norwich

To be honest, it doesn’t really matter who’s in the playoffs, you have to play to win whoever it is. No point in worrying about it now, just wait and see who makes it and who doesn’t. I’m sure MC will remain calm and composed, and have us prepared accordingly.
 
Need to beat Norwich with a clean sheet to get confidence back. Huddersfield had big effect. Also need to give playing time to Barlaser and Mowatt to rest Howson but also Hackney who is in danger of getting burnt out. Lot of minutes and high pressure games for a young lad in first season. In danger of a Jones type situation
 
Have to agree with the opening post. Watford, West Brom and Norwich all capable of turning up in a one off game like a Play Off Final - some good players in their squads who could rise to the occasion.

Id also rather play Luton in the final than over two legs.

Can we finally end our Wembley misery?
 
West Brom are the only team that bother me out of those 3 based off how well they defended against us at their place but who knows, it could have been completely different if we hadn't chucked 2 goals in before the game even started.

Watford don't bother me at all, it's only the Wilder factor that frightens fans and Norwich are garbage.
 
Everyone needs to stop worrying about Sunderland, they are unlikely to get in and even if they do we've been miles better than them since Carrick took over.

I wouldn't read much into that game at their place either, it was a one off game, they played it like their cup final and we weren't at the races. All the build up to that game was Carrick talking about it just being another game and being calm, well that approach didn't work, they played like their lives depended on it and we didn't match them. I don't see a rematch playing out the same at all.
 
We don’t need to give Mowatt anything as he’s only on loan and if it is West Brom couldn’t play anyway, barlasser though is different.
 
Have a feeling sunderland could come very close. Their fixtures look winnable if they gather some form . Although they play warnocks huddersfield at SOL.

While Millwall, Blackburn and Preston playing eachother is advantageous for us, I see it as a disadvantage for Sunderland. They have to overtake 4 teams, and some of them are guaranteed to pick up points
 
I wouldn't write Luton off as play-off winners. They play an 'effective' brand of championship football and happy to fly under the radar. However they have been good for two seasons now, so should not be underestimated because they are 'small' Luton. They have been on a great run and mange to eke out results. I think for confidence, it would be good to play well and beat them we meet. However first things first, let's finish the job against Norwich and Hull.
 
I honestly can't see the Blades not securing the 2nd spot,they have points and a game in hand,Luton will finish 3rd,us 4th and then a bun fight for the other two places
